Question 155589: I'm horribly stuck on this graph question. I need to look at both of the graphs listed below,and for each one sepratly answer all of the following questions:
What can you say about the function graphed here. Explain your reasoning: Is it a log or an exponential? For an exponential, is the exponent x or -x? What is the asymptote (is it x-asymptote or y-asymptote)? Which directions and how many units is it shifted?
I need to answer that question for both of the following graphs:

And the Second Graph:

I hope that the links will work. I don't even understand what it is i need to look at to answer the questions. So the correct answers and how to get those answers would be appericiated so much. I dont know what I'd do without all of the genorous help that you tutors offer. Thank you in advance for your time!

What can you say about the function graphed here. Explain your reasoning: Is it a log or an exponential? For an exponential, is the exponent x or -x? What is the asymptote (is it x-asymptote or y-asymptote)? Which directions and how many units is it shifted?
----------
1st Graph:
Is it a log or an exponential: log
----------------------------------------
For an exponential is the exponent x or -x
It is not exponential.
--------------------------------
What is the asymptote (is it x-asymptote or y-asymptote): x = 2
---------------------------------
Which directions and how many units is it shifted?
Ans: 2 to the right
====================================================================
2nd Graph:
Is it a log or an exponential?: exponential
--------------------------
For an exponential, is the exponent x or -x?: -x ; it is a decay function
----------------------------
What is the asymptote (is it x-asymptote or y-asymptote)? It is a y asymptote
but it is hard to tell from the graph what the equation is. Maybe y = 1.
-----------------------------
: Which directions and how many units is it shifted?
2 to the right
